Abstract

This study aims to determine the biochar agronomic effectiveness combined with compost and phonska in increasing corn yield in dryland. This study used a randomized block design with two-factor factorial pattern and 3 replications. The first factor was the treatment of biochar dosage consisting of 4 levels, namely: without biochar, 5.26 t ha-1, 10.52 t ha-1, and 15.78 t ha-1. The second factor is the type of fertilizer with four types, namely: without fertilizer, compost, phonska, and compost+phonska. The results showed that the dosage of biochar 10.52 t ha-1 combined with compost and phonska gave the highest yield of dry corn seeds per ha of 13.71 tons, which Increased by 106.67% when compared with treatment without biochar, compost, and phonska. The combination of biochar 10.52 t ha-1 with compost and phonska gave the highest value of Relative Agronomics Effectiveness (RAE) of 113.99% which is highly effective for corn cultivation in dryland.
